The tool that I use cost £60 is made by Klauke, so is not a mickey mouse. However the the mickey mouse have one use only, they cut M3.5 socket boxes screw perfectly.

Surprisingly for tools where you often get exactly what you pay for the GBP12 - 15 ones are as good as many of the more expensive ones and many have adjustable settings.
How many electricians do you know who have the pliers crimp tools though as opposed to ratchet ones?
True.

The difference being in the volume production. The most expensive crimp tool I have is a very simple non ratchet type for uninsulated car blade connectors. Made by Ripault. Works beautifully.
I dunno either. I do have one of those and it's useless.
Your idea of a 'perfect' cut is rather different to mine. ;-)

Very true, but it does what I need it to do. I do normally however make the first cut thru, and then turn the screw a further turn and cut again the clean the tthread up. The type of crimp tool has 3 pairs of removeable heads, 1 for RYB crimp, 1 for bootlace ferrules and the last for uninsulated crimps. It is a goodpiece of kit.
